Mechanism
The mechanism determines how your chair moves and what adjustment capabilities it will have. For maximum adjustability, we recommend the Multi-function tilt.
Knee Tilt 2:1
This mechanism offers knee-tilt that rocks from just under your knees and offers a more executive feel to the tilt. Back and seat tilt in a 2:1 ratio. This means that for every 2 degrees your chair tilts backwards, your seat front rises 1 degree. This mechanism does not include a forward tilt lockout.
Multi-Tilt
This mechanism offers a center-tilt that rocks from the center of the seat for a more traditional feel. Back angle can be adjusted independent of seat angle. Seat and back tilt in unison. This mechanism includes a forward tilt lockout.

Was skeptical of the B&T recommendation
The salesperson recommended this chair, even though I’m a 5’6” woman. I’m a free-lance artist and wanted a comfortable, adjustable chair for my work desk. Zero regrets. The chair seat is wide enough with a thick foam cushion to comfortable sit with my leg tucked beneath me, or even sit cross-legged as I sketch or ink. I LOVE this chair.

Worth the Price and the Wait
I am 6'7" (44" legs) and 275lbs with athletic build. Even when i worked in an office my back and hips hurt after spending all day in the company provided chair, so when I began working from home i knew i had to get good chair. I ordered the tall edition, with high back, seat slider and lumbar support. The chair is PERFECT--fits like a glove! I could fall asleep in it. My consultant, Angela, was great as well. She very partiently walked me through all the options and their pros and cons, during the ordering process and she has been quite helpful with some post sale follow-up questions. For a big/tall person, I heartily endorse this chair, The Human Solution, and my Consultant

Monterey 350
Chair is excellent. Seat is great. I selected the tall version for the extra deep seat. The depth is great. The only issue is that the extension bar is too long. I am 6'5" with 36" legs, and the chair on the lowest setting is about perfect. If I raise the chair at all, my legs are swinging. I had to raise my office furniture up 4" to get my legs under my desks.
Was nice to find tall furniture that is really tall. -
Monterey 350 Tall Edition
This is a great chair at a really great price. I am 6'3" with really long legs and this chair really fits me. I went for the Q36, lumber support, and the tall edition. For the same features in another chair I would have spent much more. I've never had a chair that actually fits me and I am glad I spent the money for this chair.
In addition the Human Solution has been great to deal with and I highly recommend buying from them. -
Go for the Schukra
I bought this chair because the salesperson told me that this would be the most comfortable chair I'd ever own. Before this chair, my back and hips almost always hurt. The salesperson was right. My hips don't hurt at all and my back is much better. I'm telling all my friends this chair is a winner.
This product comes standard with a 15-year limited warranty.
